An unfortunate high school student, Ayasaki Hayate spends his days working at part-time jobs to support his extravagant parents. After incurring a debt of 150 million yen, they disappear, and Hayate was left holding the bag. Whilst running away from the debt collectors, he tries to kidnap a girl for ransom (however, the girl misunderstands his intentions and thinks he is confessing his love to her). Almost immediately, he botches the kidnap attempt but then manages to save her from other kidnappers, causing her to fall in love with him. The girl, Sanzenin Nagi, is actually the daughter of a millionaire family. In recognition of his services, she hires Hayate as a resident butler and even pays off the debt collectors.

This is how Hayate becomes a combat butler. In order to serve and protect his mistress, Hayate's life-or-death butler life begins.

I want to root for both of them I just love girls in this series. I also concur that the arc has been dragging out too long, but I'm kind of okay with it though because this series, for me anyways, is a pleasure to read On the flip side of it though, I really want to see what's going to happen to A-tan, the king's jewel, Himegami, and Ikusa-san

Yeah I love this manga, and this has been going quite a while. I'm sure Hata will get around to the old arcs eventually. For now I want to see what Hayate is exactly up to.

I'm a little disappointed that Nagi sold out since I'm a bit of a Ruka fan boy >.<. That aside it is nice that Nagi actually felt a little alive and unfortunately I have a feeling Ruka didn't do quite as well as Nagi.

I just noticed this thread and I'm thrilled I can talk about my boy Hayate lol.

Chapter 428 was really good. I'm glad at least one of the character's parents actually came back and apologized for leaving debt to their children. So if Ruka's parents bought that last copy of hers does that mean a tie? And after reading this chapter, I wonder if Hayate's parents will make a reappearance in a future arc or chapter allowing for Hayate to get some closure or revenge lol. It looks like this arc is coming to an end. Now maybe the next arc we get back to A-tan's story and see what the big deal is there, maybe we'll get to see Hayate's brother soon.

Ah man, that 428 was a good chapter. Still disappointed that Ruka didn't get Hayate, but oh well, its cool that her parents came back. It'll be interesting to see what role they play further down the road in the manga.

First off, I want to say welcome to the thread I wish it was more lively here, but that could because of me or just because there's a lack of a discussion here in the manga section. Let's not just talk about Hayate-kun, but how about Hermione? I would totally go out with her

I believe that since it the doujinshi event has ended, I want to say that wouldn't count? That's just how I kind of see it, I would also like to see Hayate deal with his parents, I think that would be fun, but if that does happen, I think that would be towards the end of the series. As much as I love the series, I personally can't see Hayate no Gotoku living after we deal with A-tan's situation, but it doesn't mean that cannot change down the road, Because I want to learn about Maria, Himegami, Ikusa-san
